ABSTRACT

This paper includes a brief introduction to mobile radio communication. The paper also includes a brief mention of 2 way communications, its history , the role that it plays in our everyday life with its various future advancements. It also includes a discussion of antennas , Multiple controls, microphones, data radio, Walkie talkie converters and its main application Professional Mobile Radio with a feature of selective calling.

Each mobile uses a separate, temporary radio channel to talk to the cell site. The cell site talks to many mobiles at once, using one channel per mobile. Channels use a pair of frequencies for communication. One for transmitting from the cell site, the forward link, and one frequency for the cell site to receive calls from the users, the reverse link. Communication between mobile units can be either half-duplex or full-duplex. In case of half-duplex, transmit and receive communications between the mobile units are not at the same time, i.e. talking and listening can not be done at the same time. In case of full-duplex communication, transmit and receive communication is at the same time, i.e. one can talk and listen at the same time. When communications between mobile units are within a cell, and if the same is halfduplex, then it shall require only one pair of frequency. If the same is full-duplex, then requirement of frequency pair shall be two. When a mobile unit is communicating with a mobile unit outside the cell, then the requirement of frequency pair shall be one per cell for both half-duplex and full-duplex communication. Hence the system resources are utilized more if the mobile units communicate with each other in full-duplex mode.
